Our understanding of the complex regulation of protein synthesis and its integration with other steps of gene expression such as mRNA decay has dramatically increased. Furthermore, we are gaining ...

Translation factors eIF1A and eIF5B are key repressors of an abnormal protein translation process linked to neurodegenerative ...

Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells-the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ...

Proteins that bind DNA or RNA are usually put in different categories, but researchers at Umea University in Sweden and Inserm in France recently showed how the p53 protein has the capacity to bind ...

Translation factors eIF1A and eIF5B are key repressors of an abnormal protein translation process linked to neurodegenerative ...

With the principles of molecular biology very much in the zeitgeist these days, we thought it would be handy to provide some sort of visual aid to help our readers understand the complex molecular ...

Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

Elongation, a crucial step in the translation process of protein synthesis, gets disrupted by amino acid sequences with an abundance of N-terminal aspartic and glutamic acid residues in eukaryotic ...

There is an incalculable number of potential molecular tRNA species, represented by their post-transcriptionally modified forms, by the presence of isoacceptors and isodecoders as well as by the ...

(Nanowerk News) A new technique developed at UC Davis may have broken the barrier to rapid assembly of pure protein synthesis machinery outside of living cells. In order to reconstitute cellular ...

The maps of electrical brain activity taken during the making of memories are well established, but how those memories are stored and subsequently released remains unclear. In 23 October Proceedings ...
